    Default Re: Length of Time for Ban from Costco

    from my experience, you can ask to renew the membership after 2 years from the incident. you need to tell them that this what you have told when the memership canceled.
    However, I learned to live my life better without Costco. I eat healthier food in smaller quantities. I do not buy things I do not need.
    But, sometimes I do go to Costco with friends. and buy under their membership. my excuse to all that I do not renew my membership b/c I don’t need them....

    Am I reading this right? You sometimes go to CostCo with your friends....use their cards...despite still being banned?

    If that is correct:
    (1) You can be arrested for Criminal Trespass.
    (2) Your friends can have their memberships revoked for violating the terms of their membership agreement.

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Colorado

    as you can see from my name, I wish I hadn't.. I put a couple things in my bag at Costco in Louisville/Superior and tried to walk out. I felt like an idiot and almost passed out when the employee asked to see my bag. I've been a member there for 20 years.

    (Do you ever desperately wish you could undo something? That's been me for all the weeks since this happened- day and night. I've been tortured by it- feel ashamed, wish I'd taken my bag into the bathroom and left the stuff in there somehow- even my productivity has plummeted.)

    I've never done anything like this- if anything I have an overdeveloped conscious and feel like I'm cheating when I return food we tried and disliked.

    The LP(?)- I guess that must mean the security person- and the manager on duty as his witness were overruled by a third person on calling the police and I'm immensely grateful for that. In fact, I was so grateful that I wasn't arrested that I asked the Asian security guard for his name so I could write the company and make sure he was commended. He wouldn't give it. He took my picture, copied my driver's license, took my membership card and told me I'd be trespassing if I came back, but didn't mention a time period like others here have mentioned. Even if he didn't mention it, is it company policy that a ban is for either a year or two? I'd be happy to never go back into that particular store again - and for sure I won't be bringing in my shopping bags unless they're the see-through string bags.

    Still, if I can rejoin in a year or two after writing the company to be reinstated and shop only at other Costco stores in the state- I know I'd be in terror of being seen by the Asian security person if he transfers to another store. How do I know what will be "safe" in any way in that case? I'm even afraid my picture is circulating all of the Costcos in the country and I'll be recognized if I eventually shop with my mom in Illinois or partner's family in Utah. (same "western district, you know). How realistic is that? If someone thinks they recognize me but I don't have ID that shows it's me- if I'm shopping with my partner and carry in nothing- what would happen? And what are the chances of being recognized two years later anyway? Do they study the old pictures of screwed up people?

    I feel awful enough as it is- I guess I don't want the lifetime reminder of a momentary bout of idiocy to follow me- and to have to explain why I no longer shop at Costco to my partner whom I love deeply and would die rather than have doubt me in any way. I can stand a year or two but eventually I can see this becoming a topic of discussion between me and my wonderful, honest, upstanding loving partner who thinks the world of me. I don't want to hide anything from anyone- my partner especially- and this horrid event has shown me just how important my moral sense is to me.
    Why is your costco membership so important to you. You make it sound like you would of preferred to have been arrested rather than lose your costco membership. Just join a Sam's club or another warehouse chain.

    According to the Mayans, your ban will end December 12, 2012!

    According to those of us that don't subscribe to that BS, the ban is ever!

    It depends on the store's policy. A ban can last for a year or FOR LIFE!
